Supporters of Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — the 28-year-old who surprisingly won her New York primary in June — love her ideas in theory. But they seem as unable as Ocasio-Cortez is herself to explain how all the equality she promises would be paid for, in the end.
Liberals hail Ocasio-Cortez as a rising political star in the Democrat party. Yet she’s recently been called out for campaign missteps, such as criticizing Israel’s “occupation” of the Palestinian territories, and flubbing a chance to explain how exactly her socialist platform will pay for everything she’s promising.
People on the street in Astoria, Queens — a portion of the 14th congressional district in which Ocaisio-Cortez won her nomination against Rep. Joe Crowley (D-N.Y.) — were asked by Campus Reform’s media director, Cabot Phillips, if they agreed with her Democratic socialism ideas — and how they would be financed.
They were flummoxed.
“I don’t know where the money would come from, but they can figure it out,” one respondent said about paying for free health care and education.
“Oh, God — I mean, us, I guess,” one woman said when asked who would pay for goods and services for all. She then turned to her companion for help in answering the question — who also answered hesitantly...
“Us.”

Funny how Cortez says she is a socialist but is now lock step with democrats agenda. Crazy thing is she will win her election and be a LAW MAKER.
What Socialist or Democrat knows how to pay for any of their stupid feel-good ideas?
Look at Ben Jealous with all these lame ideas about health care for all that will cost Maryland taxpayers $24 billion.
Look and Jamaald Goul and Michele Gregory who said they are going to raise the minimum wage in Wicomico County to $27 per hour if they get elected. Josh Hastings agreed with them.
Look at Bill McCain who wants all school teachers to be exempted from paying Wicomico County taxes. (He wants to remove the Revenue Cap to pay for the tax exemption meaning non-school employees will be paying taxes for them.)
Socialist Democrat = ANTIFA Wicomico Progressive, only a fool would vote for these idiots.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is an uneducated bartender who got elected to one of the highest offices in the Nation by...... uneducated voters.
They waste the tax money they get now but always want more. Typical politics.

This country needs to tighten up the laws and make candidates qualify or office and make voters qualify to vote. Seventy percent of the "registered" voters wouldn't be qualified because of their ignorance to Civics and History.
Josh Hastings the tree hugger member of the Peace Alliances.
Holds a BA degree in economics from Boston University. 70k a year.
I've been doing so digging on local Democrat Socialist candidates Jamaad Gould and Michele Gregory and they are not worthy of representing the citizens of Wicomico County.
1) Jamaad Gould - Hates white people. Member of Showing Up For Racial Justice. Member of the Black Lives Matters hate group. Waves the Black Lives Matters hate flag in the faces of white people. Attempted to assault the County Executive and his wife over the General Winder plaque. Jamaad Gould is the brother of Jameal Gould who murdered his wife in front of her 3 children. Obviously, anger issues and hatred run in that family. Jamaad Gould is a time bomb ready to explode.
2) Michele Gregory- Member of the hate groups Black Lives Matters and Showing Up for Racial Justice. How can you be a white person and hate your own race? Formally ran a sketchy day care center in Salisbury that was shut down by the State of Maryland for numerous violations she refused to remediate. This woman put the lives of many children in harm's way.
Think about it, do you want these people making decisions for you that affect your lives in Wicomico County.
These are facts and facts don't lie. Working on Bill McCain and Josh Hastings. More to come!
Thankfully that LGBTQ retard Seamus Benn lost his election to the Wicomico County Board of Education. That guy also hates his own race and is a member of the hate groups Black Lives Matters and Showing up for Racial Justice.
Dave T: Add every other socialist to the list. None of them can figure out a way to pay for any of their ideas.
She is so stupid she had been purged from the New York voter rolls and could not vote in the 2016 primary because she never voted before. That's when she wanted to vote for the first time in her life and for Socialist Bernie Sanders.
Ocasio-Cortez was endorsed by progressive and civil rights organizations such as MoveOn, Justice Democrats, Brand New Congress, Black Lives Matter, and Democracy for America.
That's all I needed to hear about this uneducated Douche Bag Socialist.

Just because you hold a piece of paper doesn't mean you are educated. She is an uneducated bartender that got elected by 15,000 low informed (uneducated) voters. She is basically unemployed and expects her entitlements.
Unfortunately now she will get rich and live high on the hog like most crooked Democrats do in college.
She will be a poster child for term limits along with Auntie Maxine.
Well she should ask for her money back because she didn't learn a freaking thing about economics

AMEN!!
She probably got one of those foreigner grants like Obama did and that's why she supports free college tuition for all... I support it as well but Who TF is going to pay for it!!
I saw that Democrat Socialist Michele Gregory person,(can't tell if it's a man or a woman), protesting ICE at the Worcester County Jail. That is one big Sow!
Instead of running for office she should run for her life.
Mooooo!

Gould and Gregory are BLM pals with James Yakahomo and love waving their desecrated American flag and their Black Lives Matters flags as if that is what America believes in. They should be arrested for desecrating the U.S. flag!
